Both of these teams will want to build as much momentum as possible heading into the World Cup, and because they are each going to Qatar, this will likely be a tense friendly. South Korea should take advantage of the fact they are playing at home though, and their attacking qualities will likely be enough to see them through in this one. Read more.
